Proper Motions and Orbits of Distant Local Group Dwarf Galaxies from a combination of Gaia and Hubble Data
Paul Bennet, Ekta Patel, Sangmo Tony Sohn +12
We have determined the proper motions (PMs) of 12 dwarf galaxies in the Local Group (LG), ranging from the outer Milky Way (MW) halo to the edge of the LG. We used HST as the first…
The mass profiles of dwarf galaxies from Dark Energy Survey lensing
Joseph Thornton, Alexandra Amon, Risa H. Wechsler +7
We present a novel approach to extracting dwarf galaxies from photometric data to measure their average halo mass profile with weak lensing. We characterise their stellar mass and…
The Future of Astronomical Data Infrastructure: Meeting Report
Michael R. Blanton, Janet D. Evans, Dara Norman +69
The astronomical community is grappling with the increasing volume and complexity of data produced by modern telescopes, due to difficulties in reducing, accessing, analyzing, and…
TREX: Kinematic Characterisation of a High-Dispersion Intermediate-Age Stellar Component in M33
L. R. Cullinane, Karoline M. Gilbert, Puragra Guhathakurta +7
The dwarf galaxy Triangulum (M33) presents an interesting testbed for studying stellar halo formation: it is sufficiently massive so as to have likely accreted smaller satellites,…
Testing the near-far connection with FIRE simulations: inferring the stellar mass function of the proto-Local Group at z > 6 using the fossil record of present-day galaxies
Pratik J. Gandhi, Andrew Wetzel, Michael Boylan-Kolchin +6
The shape of the low-mass (faint) end of the galaxy stellar mass function (SMF) or ultraviolet luminosity function (UVLF) at z > 6 is an open question for understanding which galax…
Modeling the orbital histories of satellites of Milky Way-mass galaxies: testing static host potentials against cosmological simulations
Isaiah B. Santistevan, Andrew Wetzel, Erik Tollerud +3
Understanding the evolution of satellite galaxies of the Milky Way (MW) and M31 requires modeling their orbital histories across cosmic time. Many works that model satellite orbits…
